  focus is the nutrition transition and the resulting double burden of maln
 utrition in developing countries\, that is\, the coexistence of nutritiona
 l deficiencies and problems of ’overnutrition’ such as obesity and dia
 betes.The global pandemic of obesity and related chronic diseases is a maj
 or public health problem of the 21st century. It is connected with signifi
 cant social\, economic and political changes that disrupt local food syste
 ms\, particularly in low and middle-income countries\, that are increasing
 ly integrated into the global food system. Developing countries are bearin
 g the brunt of this nutrition transition.Renowned international speakers w
